It has been said that another man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To this day I wonder why people buy some of the junk they do at different places, especially at car boot sales. Still, ours is not to reason why but to take advantage of the situation to make money at car boot sales. There are two ways you can make money: one is to become a seller and wonder why someone would buy broken items from you just because the price was right, and two is to buy stock that you can sell privately on Amazon and eBay. I will cover the two ways in this article.

BECOME A SELLER

People who sell items from their car boot are known as Car Booters. They usually sell items from home after a clear out. Some actually buy stock from various places in bulk to get a good price. As a seller (or booter) with items to sell – all you need is a car, a fold away table, a few carrier bags and some coins for customers who want change. Car Boot Sales are usually advertised in the local newspapers – and even on the Internet if you search for terms like “Car Boot Sales Manchester”.

There is no need to book a pitch for your car, just turn up. There will be people there who will show you where to park your car and set up your table. There is a fee for the pitch which will be taken from you sometime during the morning. At most places you would be there from around 7am to 1pm unless you decide to leave early.

How you present yourself and your stock is most important. Take some time to organize your stock nicely on your table as you want to catch the attention of passing customers. It is a good idea to have boxes filled with general bric-a-brac that customers can rummage through as many of them love to do so as a kind of lucky dip. It is important to have a good variety of items on display so the customer has a lot of choice.

Booters don’t generally put prices on their stock. The general idea is the customer asks the price and you reply with your first offer. The reason for this is because customers like to haggle over the price. For this reason you should decide how much you are willing to let the item go and still make a profit. If it’s an item you’ve been unable to sell after a few boot sales then you can let it go as cheaply as possible.

Remember that not all customers are going to be pleasant. You will get people who are cheeky and offer you next to nothing. Politely refuse their offers and explain to them that you are not able to let the item go for less than your lowest price. They soon give up and go leaving you to sell that item to a more generous customer.

BECOME A BUYER

Car Boot Sales are popular places to visit in the summer. The excitement of walking down an aisle of cars displaying untold treasures in the hope of picking up that special something. Most sellers (or car booters) are selling items after a clear out at home and they are willing to let it go for a ridiculously low price just so they don’t have to take it home again. Things like movies can be picked up for 50p and ornaments for 20p, even retro computers and games have been picked up for a bargain price. You can buy practically anything on a car boot sale, things that have been stored in attics for years collecting dust that could be valuable to a collector.

If you are buying to sell privately then the first thing you need to do is browse places like Amazon and eBay and see what sort of items you should be selling. Get an idea of the items and the prices they go for and set yourself a limit to how much you are willing to pay for something. It is a good idea to make a list of things you are looking for with your top price which you obviously want to be as low as possible.

When dealing with the casual car booter remember that many of them want to get rid of as much as possible, especially as it’s costing them around £10-£15 for the pitch. Ask questions like: “Will you give me a good price for these books if I take ten?” If the books were a pound each you could offer eight pounds for ten of them. There is a good chance they will agree because they are making eight pounds all at once, which they may not have made that day if they had sold them separately.

CONCLUSION

Whever you become a buyer or a seller, car boot sales can be quite profitable either way. Some people will buy anything, even in a poor condition, as long as the price is right. Items can be picked up cheaply, cleaned up and repaired and sold for a higher price elsewhere.

I have been online marketing for over a decade and I have seen first hand the changes that have occurred especially with regards to Google and their algorithm updates and I’m sure that many of you will be running scared of how to optimize your website or blog anymore.
There is a lot of talk about Search Engine Optimization, however not so much about Organic Search Engine Optimization itself. So, I want to tackle that subject first. So, what precisely is Organic Search Engine Optimization?
Organic Search Engine Optimization is much like regular Search Engine Optimization event because it is the procedure of optimizing the design of your website so that search engine results, after paying attention to your content, utilizing your prepared list of keywords. The search engine will rank your website higher in the non-paid or natural listings. You will often see these appear below the paid ads at the top of the page on Google.
Organic Search Engine Optimization often referred to as Natural Search Engine Optimization, has a slight distinction from normal Search Engine Optimization in specific aspects however the focus here, is to work towards getting the best ranking in Natural search engine results.
If you are new to this area of Website Optimization it may be worth your time to invest some money with a Small Business SEO Specialist. They will initially carry out a Website review for you usually Free of Charge then they will create a report detailing the areas that they believe need attention in order to improve your position. You should find the costs reasonable and better yet it gives you the chance to learn a little and focus on your own business rather than trying to learn several new methods at the same time, its just not worth your time, in my opinion.
Your chosen SEO team will assess your website thoroughly to see how best to enhance your website’s capacity. They will then try to determine any technical issues which could pose a problem and stop your website being indexed properly during the Organic Search Engine Optimization process.
One of the methods they will no doubt wish to address is to find the optimum low competition keywords or phrases which you could target and realistically win for yourself in order to rank for and therefore improve your flow of visitors.
Keyword analysis must be genuine however, it must look natural, otherwise you end up with a non sensical sentence. You should work your long-tailed keywords into a paragraph and contain the usual content thereafter. It should include details about the function, services and products provided through your website. It must also remain aligned with your goals for marketing your website (getting extra traffic). This is trying to get the best Organic Search Engine Optimization influence possible from the search engines and end users.
Some Organic Search Engine Optimization experts will offer you a list of target keywords and phrases that have been ranked previously showing you how commonly they have been used by Internet searchers in the past.
Organic SEO starts with picking the right Title and Meta tags, development of on-page text with focus on content and design, and after that is complete you can begin to build your internal links which will go back and forth within your web pages linking Articles with other pages or content so that your visitors can find their way around. If guide is followed by yourself or your team, keyword importance and correct page formatting will increase your natural ranking.
Many SEO companies still like to manually submit websites to the various search engines individually, but this is not an essential step and I don’t believe that manual submission is any more effective than automated submission. I think automation wherever possible can help get the job done more effectively freeing up time to carry out other Organic SEO activities.
Your SEO Firm must rely on creating ethical link structure techniques, not only to safeguard the security of your rankings but to permit your site descriptions to be positioned under the ideal directory site and classifications. Ethical Organic link structure will help your website users to be able to find just the right resource on your website.
Once your SEO Team has got you this far, it would be easy to think that you have finished but unfortunately the optimization of your website and its standing in the search engine rankings does not end there. You or your SEO Team will need to continually check to ensure your website maintains of improves its position in the rankings and that there are no errors that may appear on your website like broken links etc.
One of the key tools that you or your SEO Team will no doubt do is to set up Google Webmaster Tools to ensure that you take advantage of your free Google My Business Listing as well as submit a Sitemap for your website, this will help the search engines to crawl your website to rank it. Using their webmaster tools can also give you some insight to what is happening what pages have been indexed and to see if any problems have occurred.
In business, online and offline, local business must have a website presence, they must also have a social media presence too in order to improve their standing in the community as well as their branding. But the problem most business owners face if that they don’t always have the time or the expertise to properly manage their business website and social media campaigns whether they have one or not presently.
With my background and experience, I decided to set up my own Digital Marketing Agency for this same reason, small business owners need to outsource their SEO requirements and let these digital agencies take over their social media management and then report back every few weeks with reports of what has been done and what has changed.
A typical fee for such management is likely to be anywhere from $300 for a small scale set up to $2,000 for a much larger presence so each set up is likely to be different.
For your ongoing SEO needs, once again it depends really what level of cover you are going to need, it maybe possible to bring everything under one team so the work is properly coordinated and managed effectively allowing you to focus on your main business interests.
What is expected of every SEO Management Team is regular updates and meetings, with clear concise reports on what is happening.

Organic Search Engine Optimization aims to assist you generate more visitors than you were getting previously, so that your prospective sales will be made the most of in the process. You need to avoid illegal practices and favour Organic Search Engine Optimization more because:
1) Unscrupulous Marketing practices (often illegal or at the least dubious) will never last and will not reflect well on you. There are no shortcuts!
2) Organic Search Engine Optimization does work when done in the right way.
3) Organic Search Engine Optimization does not hurt the search engines, so build it correctly and reap the rewards knowing it has been set up properly.
4) Organic SEO is firmly set in the camp of doing things correctly and to using best practices that have been accepted by most of the Internet world.
Organic SEO requires many tools and pieces of software in order to run, manage and monitor what is happening to their campaigns, these all cost substantial amounts of money on a monthly basis for many, which would most likely be prohibitive for most small business owners, so doesn’t it make sense to farm out this activity local digital marketing agency?
How do you select a suitable local digital marketing agency?
Well, I would say just as you would with any other business out there, location is almost irrelevant because the internet is so widespread and the connections via skype help too because you can look and listen to what the agents are saying and how they look. I say this because I’ve had articles in the past from people who were not natural English speakers, but when the articles came back I had to scrap some altogether and re-write the rest it was a total waste of my time and money so, it’s an important point to remember.
Cost. is an important factor too and so is value for money, so think it through, ask yourself if you feel that you are getting what you pay for?
Time. Things do take time in the SEO world, if you are promised overnight rankings, I would be wary and be asking exactly how, in my experience fast rankings are usually short lived.
Contracts. A contract will outline what you can expect what is going to be done and for what price. Plus, it will protect you if things go wrong which they can from time to time, but you need at least some form of get out clause. I would expect an initial contract should be from 3 to 6 months with the option of continuing afterwards if things are going well.
Information.
Obviously, when you meet after agreeing on a contract you are going to be asked for information about yourself and your business, including this like do you have a list of keywords prepared? Together with a run down on your business, dealings services etc, etc.
It will take a while before you get acquainted with your new partnership and like all partnerships honesty and integrity are paramount to its success. Be open to suggestions and outlook and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. If you think that things are not working well for you speak up and find out why, if your SEO company has made an error give them time to correct it but monitor them very closely. You can always renegotiate the fee if you are not satisfied.
But above all, don’t worry, most Local Digital Marketing Agencies maintain a healthy and stable customer base for several years.
